As the 3900X would need a new X570 mobo to make fully use of the new features the Ryzen 3000 series delivers it might be a expensive purchase -especially in view of the RAM needed to feed 24 threads...
price-wise the Ryzen 7 1700 and the Ryzen 5 2400G are still the best options at the moment, IMHO. If money is no objection, then so is the Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX.

one thing of concern (on top of board price rumors) is that the 1000 series might not be supported... not sure what's up with that. also, if that's the case, i'm trying to see if Ryzen 2000 APUs will work (1000 series CPU arch in them). tho it would be dumb if those weren't allowed

https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Ry....421145.0.html with quotes as :
"The Ryzen 5 3400G and the Ryzen 3 3200G continue to be based on the 12nm Zen+ architecture that AMD internally refers to as 'Picasso'. This means that 7nm APUs codenamed 'Renoir' will only be seen sometime in 2020."
"From the above information, we see that there aren't any drastic changes to the Ryzen 3000 APUs apart from slight frequency boosts. The cores, threads, and cache configurations are expected to be carried over from the previous generation so the increased speeds might not actually translate into significantly improved real-world performance."
